The Supreme Court on Wednesday pulled up the Maharashtra government for not filing its response to the construction of buildings in forest land and compensation to the affected private party.
The court also said the Maharashtra government has funds for distributing freebies under 'Ladli Behna' and 'Ladka Bhau' schemes but not for paying money for the loss of land.
A bench of Justices B R Gavai, K V Viswanathan and Sandeep Mehta gave time to the state government till August 13 to file its response saying if the order is not complied with, the chief secretary shall be present in the court.
